Ota Socks It to Falcons, Cracks 5 Hits
It was a great day at the plate for Kousei Ota. For his Osaka Sailors, the day was not nearly as good.

The catcher collected 5 hits in 5 tries, but his club still came up short in the win column. The Fukuoka Falcons snatched the victory, topping the Sailors by a score of 13-10.

"Well that wasn't how it was supposed to end," Ota said later. "I'll just have to do it again and get it right."

Kousei Ota doubled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Yuushuu Nakata in the 9th.

On the season, Ota is batting .325 with 22 home runs and 66 RBIs. He has played in 118 games.
